+% \begin{abstract}

+%    make a \textit{thumb} index, providing an easy reference methode
+%    for large books, manuals, and reference guides. 
+% \end{abstract}
+%
+% \tableofcontents
+%
+% \section{Use of this package}
+%
+% This package puts running thumb marks in the margin, moving downward
+% as the chapters increase. Also, it is possible to have an
+% ``Overview'' page, contaning the chapter names and a thumb mark
+% corrosponding to every chapter, and where it is positioned in the
+% chapter. I think this package could be usefull for people writing
+% referance guides, where quick look--up is important, or for
+% anthologies or the like.
+%
+% This package is intented for large documents only, and should be
+% used with a document class, such as \texttt{book} or \texttt{report},
+% \emph{not} \texttt{article}. The reason why this is limited so, is
+% because, it doesn't make sense to have thumbmarks in a docuemnt
+% smaller then 30 pages.
+%
+% \subsection{What to do in your document source}
+% 
+% To use this package, include it in a document with
+% \begin{quote}
+%   \Lcs{usepackage[}\textsl{options}\texttt{]\{thumb\}}
+% \end{quote}
+%
+% \DescribeOption{minitoc}
+% Here \textsl{option}, can be \texttt{minitoc} for miniture table of
+% contents at each chapter. This depends on package \textsf{minitoc},
+% so you need to have this installed, if you want to use this feature.
+%
+% \DescribeOption{box}\DescribeOption{filledbox}\DescribeOption{oval}
+% \DescribeOption{filledoval}
+% Option \texttt{minitoc}, can be combined with \emph{one} of the
+% below, or not at all. In any case, of the options below, \emph{only
+% one} or less can be used.
+%
+% These options specify the \textit{style} of the ``thumbs''. They
+% are shown in figure~\ref{tab:styles}
+% \begin{figure}[htbp]
+%   \setlength{\unitlength}{1cm}
+%   \begin{picture}(5,10)
+%     \put(0,0){\mbox{\texttt{filledbox} (defualt)}}
+%     \put(5,0){\rule{3cm}{1cm}}
+%     \put(0,2){\mbox{\texttt{box}}}
+%     \put(5,2){\framebox(3,1)}
+%     \put(0,4){\mbox{\texttt{oval}}}
+%     \put(6.5,4.5){\oval(3,1)}
+%     \put(0,6){\mbox{\texttt{filledoval}}}
+%     \put(5,6){\circle*{0.5}}
+%     \put(5,5.77){\rule{3cm}{0.5cm}}
+%   \end{picture}
+%   \caption{``thumb'' styles}\label{tab:styles}
+% \end{figure}
+%
+% Notice the style \texttt{filledoval} \emph{cannot} be made any
+% higher. This is due the the primitive drawning mechanisms of
+% \LaTeX{} without extension packages as \textsf{epic} etc..
+% 
+% The \texttt{box} and \texttt{oval} style, will extend the thumbs on
+% the ``overview page'', to reach over the chapter name and
+% number. This will effecually ``frame'' the chapter name with the
+% thumb.
+%
+% \subsection{Style Commands}
+%
+% While the general style of the ``thumbs'' are selected by option to
+% the package, it is also possible to say something more via commands.
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\Overviewpage} 
+%
+% First of, there is the ``Overview page''. To trigger this page, put
+% \Lcs{Overviewpage} at the begining of your document. I think it
+% should come just before the preface and the table of contents, but
+% you may disagree.
+%
+% This page will contain, the thumbs for all the capters. plus their
+% names, printed next to there corrosponding thumb mark, and the
+% title, author(s) and date of the document, in a seperate cloumn of
+% its own.
+%
+% If you use the overview page, you should proberly run you docuemnt
+% through \LaTeX{} \emph{at least} three times. This is because, the
+% first time, \LaTeX{} must create a file, the second time, it will
+% have to adjust the space between the thumb marks, and thirdly, it
+% should type set it all proberly. However, this is not that strange,
+% in fact, packages like \textsf{minitoc}, may sometimes require 5
+% runs, until the utput comes out right.
+%
+% The use of the ``Overview page'' does, however put some restrains on
+% your formatting, though they are minor, and I think a have made a
+% suttable compensation. More on this later.
+%
+% \subsection{Manipulating the ``thumbs''}
+%
+% There are two ways in which you can maniplute the thumb marks. It
+% should come as no surpise, that these are the height and width of
+% the thumbs. All you ghave to do is to set this \textsl{lengths} to
+% the value, you desire. By default, they are calculated from the
+% paper and text dimensions. 
+%
+% \DescribeMacro{\thumbwidth}\DescribeMacro{\thumbheight}
+% The \textsl{lenghts} you should change are \Lcs{thumbheight} and
+% \Lcs{thumbwidth}. The should be cahnge by using the \LaTeX{} command
+% \Lcs{setlength\{}\textsl{length}\texttt{\}\{}\textsl{dimension}\texttt{\}} 
+% where \textsl{dimension} is a valid \LaTeX{} dimension (a number
+% plus a unit). 
+%
+% \StopEventually{}
+% \iffalse
+%<*package>
+% \fi
+%
+% \section{Implementation}
+% 
+% First some package identification:
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\def\fileversion{v1.0} 
+\def\filedate{97/12/24}
+\ProvidesPackage{thumb}[\filedate\space\fileversion\space thumb
+                          package.]
+\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1994/06/01]
+%    \end{macrocode} 
+%
+% \subsection{Initialization}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\ifhave@fancyhdr}
+% Then we check to se if package \textsf{fancyhdr} is avaliable. This
+% is done by a new conditional \Lcs{ifhave@fancyhdr}:
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\newif\ifhave@fancyhdr
+\openin\@ne fancyhdr.sty
+\ifeof\@ne \else \have@fancyhdrtrue \fi
+\closein\@ne \relax
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% If we found {\tt fancyhdr.sty} we use it.  
+% Notice the rest of the package is \emph{conditional}, in the sense,
+% that if \textsf{fancyhdr} isn't installed, nothing will be defined.
+%     \begin{macrocode}
+\ifhave@fancyhdr 
+  \RequirePackage{fancyhdr}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \DescribeCount{thumb}
+% Initialize the counter \texttt{thumb}, which will be used to measure
+% out the distance between the ``thumbs''. 
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  % Define primitive counters
+  \newcount\thumbchap
+  \newcount\thumbHskip
+  % Define lengths
+  \setlength{\unitlength}{1sp}
+  \newlength{\thumbheight}
+  \newlength{\thumbwidth}
+  \newlength{\thumbskip}
+  \newlength{\overviewskip}
+  % Define counters
+  \newcounter{thumbheight}
+  \newcounter{thumbwidth}
+  \newcounter{lthumbskip}
+  \newcounter{rthumbskip}
+  \newcounter{overviewskip}
+  % the height of the thumbs
+  \setlength{\thumbheight}{1cm}
+  % the width of the thumbs
+  \newdimen\thumbtmp
+  \thumbtmp\paperwidth
+  \advance\thumbtmp-\textwidth
+  \divide\thumbtmp2
+  \setlength{\thumbwidth}{\thumbtmp}
+  % the skip of the overview titles
+  \thumbtmp\textwidth
+  \divide\thumbtmp2
+  \setlength{\overviewskip}{\thumbtmp}
+  % Set counters
+  \AtBeginDocument{
+    \setcounter{thumbheight}{\thumbheight}
+    \setcounter{thumbwidth}{\thumbwidth}
+    \setcounter{overviewskip}{\overviewskip}
+  }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \subsection{The \Lcs{chapter} macro}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\chapter}
+% The chapter needs to be redefined, so that the ``overview'' page can
+% be produced in a nice way. The page style is set to
+% \texttt{thumbplain} so that the \texttt{plain} page style can be
+% used for page that should contain \emph{no} fancy stuff at all. In
+% any other respect, the \Lcs{chapter} works as usual.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \renewcommand\chapter{\if@openright\cleardoublepage\else\clearpage\fi
+                      \thispagestyle{thumbplain}%
+                      \global\@topnum\z@
+                      \@afterindentfalse
+                      \secdef\@chapter\@schapter}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \begin{macro}{\@chapter}
+% However it is only the \emph{un--stared}
+% form \Lcs{chapter\{...\}} that needs this modfication. The stared
+% form should not create any line in the ``overview'' page, nor should
+% it have a ``table of contents'' if the \texttt{minitoc} option is
+% used. This have to be done before the options decleration, because
+% style \textsf{minitoc} changes the \Lcs{chapter} macro. 
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+%\let\sv@chapter\@chapter
+%\def\@chapter[#1]#2{\sv@chapter[{#1}]{#2}\relax%}
+  \def\@chapter[#1]#2{%
+    \ifnum \c@secnumdepth >\m@ne
+      \if@mainmatter
+        \refstepcounter{chapter}%
+        \typeout{\@chapapp\space\thechapter.}%
+        \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}%
+          {\protect\numberline{\thechapter}#1}%
+      \else
+        \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{#1}%
+      \fi
+    \else
+      \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{#1}%
+    \fi
+    \chaptermark{#1}%
+    \addtocontents{lof}{\protect\addvspace{10\p@}}%
+    \addtocontents{lot}{\protect\addvspace{10\p@}}%
+    \if@twocolumn
+      \@topnewpage[\@makechapterhead{#2}]%
+    \else
+      \@makechapterhead{#2}%
+      \@afterheading
+    \fi
+    \relax
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% The above code is taken from \texttt{book.cls}. No changes so far.
+%
+% Now we put an entry in the \textsl{filename}\texttt{.ovr} file, so
+% that the ``overview'' page can input it later. Notice this implies
+% \LaTeX{} should be run \emph{at least} twice.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \ifOverview
+      \def\ovrout{\noexpand\secname{\@arabic\c@chapter}{#2}{\thepage}}
+      \immediate\write\thumbovr{\ovrout}
+    \fi
+    \advance\thumbchap1
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% If the \texttt{minitoc} option is given, a table of contents for
+% this chapter is output. Notice this implies \LaTeX{} should be run
+% \emph{at least} three times.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \ifx\thumbmini\undefined
+    \else
+      \minitoc
+    \fi
+  }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\preface}
+% This macro is for including a preface (a chapter with no number, but
+% a entry in the table of contents and the overview page.
+% 
+% The macro \Lcs{Prefacename} is set to \Lcs{prefacename} if it is
+% defined (as in the \textsf{babel} package), else it is set to
+% ``Preface''. This means non--english users should redefine the macro
+% \Lcs{prefacename}, \emph{not} \Lcs{Prefacename}.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \ifx\prefacename\undefined
+    \newcommand{\Prefacename}{Preface}
+  \else
+    \newcommand{\Prefacename}{\prefacename}
+  \fi
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% A new \textsl{if} is defined, so that the overview page may use the
+% \Lcs{Prefacename} \emph{only} if a preface is present. This means
+% the preface should come before the overview page. 
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newif\ifPreface
+  \Prefacefalse
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% The command \Lcs{preface} takes an optional argument, so
+% non--english users may specify another name for the preface, e.g.\
+% ``Vorrede''. A new right--handed page is started, and a line is
+% added to the table of contents. 
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newcommand{\preface}[1][\Prefacename]{%
+    \Prefacetrue
+    \cleardoublepage
+    \thispagestyle{thumbplain}
+    \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{#1}%
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Marks are set, and apropiate
+% vertical space is added. Next, we take into account wether the
+% document is set in two column or not.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \chaptermark{#1}%
+    \vspace*{50\p@}%
+    \if@twocolumn
+      \@topnewpage[{\Huge \bfseries #1}]%
+    \else
+      {
+      \interlinepenalty\@M
+      \Huge \bfseries #1
+      \par\nobreak
+      \vskip 40\p@
+      }
+      \@afterheading
+    \fi
+    \relax
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Some commands for the overview page is defined, etc.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \renewcommand{\Overviewname}{#1}
+    \newcount\tempa
+    \tempa\thepage
+    \newcommand{\Overviewpage}{\the\tempa}
+  }
+%    \end{macrocode}    
+% \end{macro}
+% \subsection{Options}
+%
+% The options are declared. These are \texttt{minitoc, filledbox, box,
+% filledoval,} and \texttt{oval}.
+%
+%  \begin{macro}{minitoc}
+% If option \texttt{minitoc} is set, we check to see if the file
+% \texttt{minito.sty} is avaliable. If it is we load it. 
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\ifhave@minitoc}
+% To accomplish this we define a new \Lcs{if}
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \DeclareOption{minitoc}{
+    \newif\ifhave@minitoc
+      \openin\@ne minitoc.sty
+      \ifeof\@ne \else \have@minitoctrue \fi
+    \closein\@ne \relax
+    \ifhave@minitoc 
+      \def\thumbmini{}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Notice if you use some other language then English, you will have
+% to redefine the macro \Lcs{contentsname} yourself to something
+% apropriate\footnote{For example Danish users should say
+% \Lcs{renewcommand\{}\Lcs{contentsname\}\{Kort oversigt\}}.}.
+%
+% If the option \texttt{minitoc} is not set, then put out a warning.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \else
+      \PackageWarning{thumb}{style `minitoc´ not avaliable \return
+        option `minitoc' will not be used}
+    \fi
+  }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \subsubsection{The ``thumb'' styles}
+% 
+% Next the options for the thumbs styles is set. Notice, in every
+% option there is a definiton of three different marks
+% \Lcs{rthumb}, \Lcs{lthumb} and \Lcs{ovrthumb}. These are used on
+% right--, left--handed pages and on the overview page, respectivly. 
+%
+% First some commands to use wit the options.
+%
+% Most of the dimensions are defined here also, but often not set
+%  until at \Lcs{begin\{document\}}, since various packages such as
+% \texttt{a4wide.sty}, may change the size of the paper etc.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{thumbfilledbox}
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newcommand{\thumbfilledbox}{%
+    \thumbtmp\paperwidth
+    \advance\thumbtmp-\textwidth
+    \divide\thumbtmp2
+    \divide\thumbtmp3
+    \setlength{\thumbskip}{\thumbtmp}
+    \typeout{Expect some overfull hbox'es in the overview page}
+    \AtBeginDocument{
+       \setcounter{lthumbskip}{\thumbskip}
+       \setcounter{rthumbskip}{\thumbskip}
+       \addtocounter{lthumbskip}{\value{thumbwidth}}
+    }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% From then on, it's is just a question of defing the thumb marks.
+% 
+% First the thumbmarks for right--handed pages.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \def\rthumb{%
+      \thumbHskip\thumbchap
+      \multiply\thumbHskip\value{thumbhskip}
+      \begin{picture}(0,0)
+        \put(\value{rthumbskip},-\the\thumbHskip){    
+          \rule{\thumbwidth}{\thumbheight}}
+      \end{picture}
+    }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Then the thumbmarks for left--handed pages.
+%

+%
+% \subsection{Boxes for headings} 
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\thumbheader}
+% \begin{macro}{\Overviewtitlefont}
+% \begin{macro}{\Overviewauthorfont}
+% \begin{macro}{\Overviewdatefont}
+% First we define some commands, and there defaults, to format the 
+% header fonts.
+%    \begin{macrocode} 
+  \newcommand{\thumbheaderfont}{\small\sl}
+  \newcommand{\Overviewtitlefont}{\sf\LARGE}
+  \let\Overviewauthorfont\Overviewtitlefont
+  \let\Overviewdatefont\Overviewtitlefont
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\thumbtitlefont}
+% \begin{macro}{\thumbauthorfont}
+% \begin{macro}{\thumbdatefont}
+% Then we define a new macro to control the font of the title \emph{on
+% the titlepage} and nowhere else. This is done, so that the font in
+% the headers may be different from the one on the titlepage. However,
+% this must be considered a bug, because it means, you have to use the
+% macro \Lcs{thumbtitlefont}, if you wish to change the font of the
+% title on the titlepage. Otherwise, you can get strange headers!
+% Also, you can only use fontmacroes, that normally change the font
+% globally, e.g.\ \Lcs{tt}, \Lcs{rm}, \Lcs{bf}, \Lcs{Huge},
+% \Lcs{Large}, and \emph{not} the local counterparts \Lcs{texttt},
+% \Lcs{textrm}, \Lcs{textbs} etc.. \Lcs{thumbauthorfont} and
+% \Lcs{thumbdatefont} work in the same way as \Lcs{thumbtitlefont}
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newcommand{\thumbtitlefont}{}
+  \newcommand{\thumbauthorfont}{}
+  \newcommand{\thumbdatefont}{}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\thumbtitle}
+% \begin{macro}{\thumbauthor}
+% \begin{macro}{\thumbdate}
+% \begin{macro}{\Overviewtitle}
+% The next step is to make some saveboxes, and fill them with the
+% title of the document.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newsavebox{\thumbtitle}
+  \newsavebox{\thumbauthor}
+  \newsavebox{\thumbdate}
+  \newsavebox{\Overviewtitle}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% Then we fill the boxes. this have to be done at the begin of the
+% document, since, other styles might change the marks.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \AtBeginDocument{
+    \let\tmptitlefont\thumbtitlefont
+    \let\thumbtitlefont\relax
+    \let\tmpauthorfont\thumbauthorfont
+    \let\thumbauthorfont\relax
+    \let\tmpdatefont\thumbdatefont
+    \let\thumbdatefont\relax
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% This is the tricky part. Here we set \Lcs{thumbtitlefont} to be
+% void, so that any large font, or otherwise unreasonable font,
+% headerwise that is, specified on the titlepage, will not affect the
+% header fonts. this is why you \emph{must} use the
+% \Lcs{thumbtitlefont} macro to change the bfont on the title font.  
+% The \Lcs{thumbtitlefont} is restored to it original use below.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \let\tmpand\and
+    \let\and\par
+    \savebox{\thumbtitle}
+      {{\thumbheaderfont\@title}}
+    \begin{lrbox}{\Overviewtitle}
+      \begin{minipage}[c]{0.4\textwidth}
+          \Overviewtitlefont\@title\newline
+          \Overviewauthorfont\@author\newline
+          \Overviewdatefont\@date\newline
+        \end{minipage}
+    \end{lrbox}
+    \let\thumbtitlefont\tmptitlefont
+    \let\thumbauthorfont\tmpauthorfont
+    \let\thumbdatefont\tmpdatefont
+    \let\and\tmpand
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\chaptermark}
+% \begin{macro}{\sectionmark}
+% \begin{macro}{\subsectionmark}
+% After having filled the boxes, we make use of them in the
+% headers. If you don't like to have the title in the headers, you
+% can always redefine the marks, with \Lcs{markboth\{\}\{\}} and
+% \Lcs{markright\{\}\{\}}, though it should be done \emph{after} the
+% \Lcs{begin\{document\}}.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \markboth{\usebox{\thumbtitle}}{\usebox{\thumbtitle}}
+    \renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{
+      \markboth{{\small #1}}{\usebox{\thumbtitle}}
+    }
+    \renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{
+      \markboth{{\small #1}}{\usebox{\thumbtitle}}
+    }
+    \renewcommand{\subsectionmark}[1]{
+      \markboth{{\small #1}}{\usebox{\thumbtitle}}
+    }
+  }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \subsection{The Appendix}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\appendix}
+% The command \Lcs{appendix} is redefined, so that the thumb
+% marks come out running, instead of shifting up at the appendix
+% \DescribeCount{appendix}
+% \DescribeCount{chapter}
+% \DescribeCount{section}
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newif\ifAppendix
+  \Appendixfalse
+  \newcounter{appendix}
+  \setcounter{appendix}{0}
+  \renewcommand\appendix{\par
+    \setcounter{appendix}{\value{chapter}}
+    \setcounter{chapter}{0}%
+    \setcounter{section}{0}%
+    \renewcommand\chaptername{\appendixname}%
+    \renewcommand\thechapter{\Alph{chapter}}
+    \ifOverview
+      \immediate\write\thumbovr{\noexpand\Appendixtrue}
+    \fi
+  }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \subsection{The Lists}
+%
+% If the option \texttt{minitoc} is set, then the tableofcontents,
+% should only contain the parts and and chapters (Like a ``Short Table
+% of Contents'')
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \ifx\thumbmini\undefined
+  \else
+    \RequirePackage{minitoc}
+    \setcounter{tocdepth}{0}
+    \def\contentsname{Short Table of Contents}%
+    \AtBeginDocument{\dominitoc}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Also, since \texttt{minitoc} redefines a lot of the behavior of the
+% lists, we have to be able to print the ``List of Figures'', and
+% ``List of Tables''. Now since \texttt{tocdepth} is set to 0, normally
+% the above lists would \emph{not} be printed, but if we redefine the
+% macroes \verb+\l@figure+ and \verb+\l@table+, wich \LaTeX{} use to
+% control the beaviour of the lists, so that the first number is less
+% then 0, then the lists \emph{do} get printed\footnote{This all sound
+% so simple, but it tok me a couple of hours to figure it out.}.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \renewcommand*\l@figure{\@dottedtocline{-1}{1.5em}{2.3em}}
+    \let\l@table\l@figure
+  \fi
+%    \end{macrocode}
+%
+% \subsection{Page Styles}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\thumbsecnum}
+% First we create the macro \Lcs{thumbsecnum}, to get nice headers. It
+% test if a counter is 0, if it is, then it, and \emph{all} subsequent
+% counters in the section number, should not be printed. Notice, if all
+% section numbers are 0, nothing is printed \emph{at all}.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newlength{\thumbspace}
+  \settowidth{\thumbspace}{9}
+  \newcommand{\thumbsecnum}{
+    \ifnum\value{chapter}=0
+    \else
+      \ifnum\value{section}=0
+        \thechapter
+      \else
+        \ifnum\value{subsection}=0
+          \thesection
+        \else
+          \thesubsection
+        \fi
+      \fi
+    \fi
+  }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+% The macro \Lcs{thumbspace} is a length, we use when a number was
+% supposed to be there, but isn't dor some reason, and so we
+% want a empty space. It also used below.
+%
+% \DescribePage{fancynormal}
+% This is he normal page style, that puts the ``thumbs'' on the page,
+% and the current section name in the center of the header, and the
+% current subsection number on the farmost corner of the header. The
+% page number is put in the farmost footer.
+%
+% The macroes \emph{could} have been made so that the user could
+% change them, but instead of doing that, I leave it up to the user,
+% to browse the manual of \texttt{fanyhdr} and find out how to do that
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}

+%
+% \subsection{Commands for the Overview page}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\Ovreviewname}
+% The first macro, is for deciding what the name of 
+% ``Overview'' page should be. This can be refined by saying:
+%
+% \Lcs{renewcommand\{\bs{}Overviewname\}\{}\textsl{name\_of\_page}\texttt{\}} 
+% 
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newcommand{\Overviewname}{Overview}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% Like above, only it sets the font.
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\Overviewfont}
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newcommand{\Overviewfont}{\sf\Large}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\secname}
+% This is the command that sets the individual lines on the
+% ``Overview'' page. Notice how the previous defined \Lcs{ifAppendix}
+% is used here, and the names of the chapters are set to align, by
+% inspecting the number before.
+%
+% First, we put in the thumb, then we put in the text, though the
+% numbers need special attention.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newcommand{\secname}[3]{%
+    \put(0,-\value{thumbline}){\ovrthumb}
+    \put(-\value{overviewskip},-\value{thumbline}){%
+      {\Overviewfont
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% If the first number is zero, the we don't want the number on the page.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+        \ifnum#1=0
+          #2\dotfill\ #3
+        \else
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Else, the counter is put on the page, according to thier meaning. 
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+          \setcounter{Overviewnumber}{#1}
+          \ifAppendix
+            \Alph{Overviewnumber}
+          \else
+            \arabic{Overviewnumber}
+          \fi
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Then a check to see if space is need in front of the number, so that
+% the numbers will come out right adjusted.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+          \ifnum#1>99
+            \hspace{\thumbspace}
+          \else
+            \ifnum#1>9
+              \hspace{2\thumbspace}
+            \else
+              \hspace{3\thumbspace}
+            \fi
+          \fi
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Finally, the text and page number is put on the page. 
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+          #2\dotfill\ #3
+        \fi
+      }
+    }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% We need to increment the \texttt{line} counter, so that the next
+% line isn't put on top of this line.  
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \stepcounter{line}
+    \addtocounter{thumbline}{\value{thumbhskip}}
+  }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \begin{macro}{\thumboverview}
+% This is the command used in the previous defined
+% \texttt{thumboverview} page style. It does nothing fancy, expect
+% check to see if the file \Lcs{\jobname.ovr} exists. If it does, it
+% inputs it. Othewise it outputs a warning.
+%
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newcommand{\thumboverview}{%
+    \begin{picture}(0,0)
+      \IfFileExists{\jobname.ovr}{%
+        \noindent
+        \input{\jobname.ovr}
+      }
+      {
+        \PackageWarning{thumb}{I couldn't finde \jobname.ovr}
+        \AtEndDocument{
+          \typeout{``thumbs'' set, please run LaTeX again}
+      }
+      }
+    \end{picture}
+  }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% If the Overview page is not used, the \texttt{thumbhskip} counter
+% still needs to be set, so we set it in any case. This is not a
+% problem, since the overview page \emph{always} comes after
+% \Lcs{begin\{document\}}.  
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newcounter{thumbhskip}
+  \AtBeginDocument{
+    \setcounter{thumbhskip}{\value{thumbheight}}
+  }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \begin{macro}{\OverviewPage}
+% This is the macro to be used in the document. It typesets the
+% ``Overview'' page where it is given. It is \emph{always} set on a
+% right--handed page. This look best, I think (and makes the coding
+% easier). Notice, the empty \Lcs{mbox} at the end is
+% nessecary. Oterwise \LaTeX{} think you have asked for 3 or 4 empty
+% pages, and will reduce these to 1 or zero respectivly. Figure that
+% out! Also the file \textsl{jobname}\texttt{.ovr} is opened and ready
+% to be written in. At the end of the document, we close it.
+%
+% First some counters and a new \textsl{if}, so that we may check in
+% the \Lcs{chapter} macro, wether we should write to the file
+% \Lcs{jobname.ovr}.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newcounter{Overviewnumber}
+  \newcounter{line}
+  \newcounter{thumbline}
+  \newif\ifOverview
+  \Overviewfalse
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Now to the macro it self. First \Lcs{ifOverview} should test
+% \textsl{true}, and the counter \texttt{thumbhskip} is reset.
+% Then we open the file \Lcs{jobname.ovr} for writting, and start a
+% new righthanded page. The page style is what actually does all the
+% work. This is defined earlier.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+  \newcommand{\OverviewPage}{%
+    \Overviewtrue
+    \setcounter{thumbhskip}{0}
+    \newwrite\thumbovr  
+    \cleardoublepage
+    \thispagestyle{thumboverview}
+    \ifPreface
+    \else
+      \newcommand{\Overviewpage}{\thepage}
+    \fi
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Now, we put a small paragraph containg the titlepage stuff, next to
+% the overview index. The \Lcs{vfill}'s is to ensure the page will
+% appear non--empty, and create appropiate vertical space.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \vfill  
+    \usebox{\Overviewtitle}
+    \vfill
+%    \end{document}
+% The file \Lcs{jobname.ovr} is closed at the end of the document.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \AtEndDocument{
+      \closeout\thumbovr
+      \typeout{(\jobname.ovr)}
+    }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Then a new right--handed page is started, and we open the file
+% \Lcs{jobname.ovr} for writting.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \cleardoublepage
+    \immediate\openout\thumbovr=\jobname.ovr
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% If the file \Lcs{jobname.ovr} wasn't found, then we do not know the
+% number of chapters in the document, so we guess it to be less then
+% 10 (I think thats a reasonable number --- you may differ). Also, we
+% ask the user to run \LaTeX{} again, so that the thumbs may come
+% out right.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \newdimen\tempa
+    \tempa\textheight
+    \ifnum\value{line}>0
+      \divide\tempa\value{line}
+      \thumbtmp\value{thumbhskip}sp
+      \multiply\thumbtmp\value{line}
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Next we test to see if there are too many thumbs, or if they are to
+% high, if so right an error, and prompt.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+      \ifdim\thumbtmp>\textheight
+         \PackageError{thumb}{The total height of the thumbs is larger
+            then the text}{Go on now, but correct the mistake afterwards}
+      \fi
+    \else
+      \divide\tempa10
+      \AtEndDocument{
+        \typeout{``thumbs'' not set right, please run LaTeX again}
+      }
+    \fi
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% Now we that we have the (approximate) value of \texttt{thumbhskip},
+% we output it to the file \Lcs{jobname.ovr}.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+    \newcounter{thumbtmp}
+    \setcounter{thumbtmp}{\tempa}
+    \immediate\write\thumbovr{\noexpand\setcounter{thumbhskip}{\thethumbtmp}}
+    \def\ovrout{
+      \noexpand\secname{0}{\noexpand\Overviewfont\noexpand\Overviewname}
+      {\noexpand\Overviewpage}
+    }
+    \immediate\write\thumbovr{\ovrout}
+  }
+%    \end{macrocode}
+% \end{macro}
+%
+% \subsection{Ending}
+%
+% Finally, the errormessage if \texttt{fancyhdr} wasn't found.
+%    \begin{macrocode}
+\else
+  \PackageWarning{thumb}{style `fancyhdr´ not avaliable \return
+    style `thumb' will not be used}
+\fi
+%    \end{macrocode}
